better than the remake but still not that great.
This movie is okay in my opinion, for 12 and up. The original is dated and campy. This computerized remake was entertaining but you already know what you're in for whenever Keanu Reeves acts. The most upsetting piece is easily discounted with kids who realize they're only watching movie effects. But I do get a lot of 'what if' after this.

Use this one as a family conversation starter
Too much violence, which was unnecessary to the story; thought-provoking subject, and allowed for good family conversations

The Day the Earth Stood Still
It was a boring movie for the most part, but it had its moments.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
I wasn't expecting much for this movie, as the original was so good. But this was worse than expected. The first half actually held some promise, but it quickly went downhill from there. The plot was nonexistent, as was the script.There was no development of either the characters nor of the character's inter-personal relationships, although there were a few weak efforts. The only reason I even partly like this movie is because I am a fan of Keanu Reeves, but besides that it was pretty bad. I wouldn't particularly recommend it to anyone.

Would Not Recommend It At All.
First off, this will not ever happen because God is in control of everything!!!! Second, weird movie with a weird plot. I was kind of bored thorugh the movie trying to figure out what was happening (which was not much). Nothing really happens, weird. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. THX and God Bless!!!!
